Samsung Internet Beta Browser - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hello!
Does anyone of you use Samsung Internet beta on oneplus 3?
I installed the app today via apkmirror and gave all permissions, but unfortunately the browser doesn't show any suggestions when i do a search or insert a website url on the top bar. For some reason the browser doesn't display it. (i have enabled search suggestions on app definition)
Oneplus 3, OxygenOS 4.1.1.

Well because it's Samsung's browser that is normally only capable of being used on Samsung devices. Obviously it won't work 100% with our phone. Its common sense

It works with samsung and google pixel only

Ok. Thank you both for clarifying that!

[Q] Search in a web browser like in desktop Chrome?

Anyone who uses Chrome on their PC will know what I mean when I say is there any Android browser that allows you to search different websites from the navigation bar? For instance in desktop Chrome if you want to search youtube for Lady Gaga you just type in "youtube.com Lady Gaga". Is there any Android web browser with that kind of functionality? Android Chrome doesn't seem to do it.
Thanks for any help.

I use the stock browser and Chrome in that way with no problems. I think, there is something wrong with your settings.
I just reinstalled Chrome on my phone and typed in "youtube.com Lady Gaga" and it didn't work, it just searched on Google. Is there a setting you have to turn on?
As far as I know, the mobile version is fairly new and didn't see any options to enable it. Desktop chrome came with it already functional. The only mobile variation I found was using Firefox w/ the youtube add-on. Which sucks because I hate Firefox.
I love the dolphin browser you should try that one not sure what you are trying to do.

In Chrome on desktop, you can / have to go to options / search settings and set up these shortcuts (if not already present). I've only just started with new Android device - I assume there is a similar place to set such on handheld. e.g. On my desktop, type 'w' 'p' '<space>' auto-changes the address line to 'search wikipedia' (or like wording). I assume you see the same on your desktop when you type 'youtube.com', as per your message.
If nothing else, you can do '"lady gaga" site:youtube.com", in the mean time.

[Q] Opening Links in Multi-Window

Hi guys,
When I use two apps side-by-side, say Youtube and Skype, and I click on a friend's YT link, Skype disappears. I want to watch videos in YT above the Skype window, instead of having to pair the apps in multi-window mode all over again. In other words, I want links to open in the other app while staying side-by-side.This was possible on my Galaxy Note 10.1, so I wonder why it's not working here and if there's something that I need to do.
Thanks~
You may need to drag YouTube from the multi window launcher and place it above Skype before clicking on the yt link.

My Tab Pro 10.1 only allows two windows in multi-window mode, so I can't fully test this scenario. However, in Settings/Device/Multi window, there is an option to open in multi window view.
Once I checked that, then I opened the USA Today app alongside my browser. I then clicked on a link in the USA Today app, and it opened in the browser that is next to it.

Mainly because this is a Samsung feature the 'Internet' or the browser(modded apk) is integrated from Samsung which offers full support of their funcionality/features and Chrome is from Google which doesn't support Samsung features i may be wrong ofcourse probably if you mod the Chrome apk a bit it could be able to fully integrate with the scrapbook eg. detect the url

Looking for SMS/MMS App. For Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro

Greetings - Anyone know of any SMS/MMS App(s). compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro I can download from Play Store?....I downloaded/installed GO SMS Pro, but doesn't seen to work...Getting some msg. when I open it stating something about GOSMS prohibited by permission manager...Others I tried to download stated were not compatible: chomp SMS, Textra SMS, 8sms, HoverChat, Handcent sms,...
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated...Thank you...
I'm using MightyText, no apparent issues here. I have it setup on my Nexus 4, Tab Pro 12.2 and Windows 7 PC at work.
Are you trying to text directly from your tablet? You can set up a Google voice account and use that number for texting. Otherwise you need to set up an app that will transfer the text from your phone to your tablet via wifi or bluetooth. I have used mighty text on my computer, but an currently using Tablet Talk.
Nomedias/k8108 - Thank you for the feedback...
I attempted to download/install MightyText from the Play Store, but getting a msg stating that my device isn't compatible with this version...Been getting that a lot when attempting to download/install apps. from Play Sore...
Any ideas?...
I assume you didn't run into that problem when you installed on our Samsung TAB Pro(???)...
All I'm looking to do is send SMS/MMS from my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.2...
Thank you...

You can also use hangouts for this. But, you might want to complement it with the Xposed module XHangouts, for better mms handling.

I'm running stock Samsung ROM on my Tab Pro 12.2, and no I didn't have any problems. What ROM are you running? In the past I ran into app incompatibility issues on my HP TouchPad due to what a custom ROM would have for "ro.product.model" or "ro.product.name" in the /system/build.prop file. At times I had to tweak it to report another model to get certain apps to install.
Or, you can download it on another tablet, extract the apk and sideload. Keep in mind the Tablet and Phone versions of MightyText are different apps.

you use hangouts for this?
I want to use my tablet to text while at work because the only way I get reception is when the phone is 12' away sitting in a window. I have been tethering my tablet and use that at my desk.
Anyone know a good way to acomplish this? I know the G3 & G pad 8.3 can do this.
I'm running CM11 on my TP8.4 & a stock 1+One. Also, I use hangouts on my phone. I looked at mysms, but I don't want to have to use their app on my phone I still want to use hangouts, or something that runs in the background.

Personally I haven't tried it, but reading the explanations in the XHangouts OP it is supposed to be one of the best. Another alternative is to use Hangouts for GV/messaging using your GV number.

Thats a good idea, but i was hoping to use my carrier number. I dont really need a second line. I've read that voice is going the way of google buzz soon. I believe it now considering the new call feature in hangouts.
Try the tablet talk app. I use that for sending texts from my tablet. It tethers to my phone and shows I am texting from that number

Ugh, the forum won't me post links cause I'm a new user, but there's two separate apps for MightyText, one for your phone and one for your tablet. You probably downloaded the wrong one onto your tablet. Just search "MightText Tablet" in the play store.

Hi,
You should definitely give this new app called SVS a try. Download it from shareviasms.com or:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.svs.shareviasms
Properly known as Share Via SMS , is a friendly sms app built using material design. It lets you share images and audio over standard sms, without using the internet.
SVS its a great tool for who don't have access to the internet or can't afford data packages.
sync sms works great for me. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.d0lph1nk1ng.syncsms&hl=en

Links not opening in Chrome

I just got my Pixel XL yesterday since I've set it up I've had this problem. When I open links, regardless of the app I open them from, they do not open in Chrome or whatever I have set for my default browser. Instead they open a sort of overlay WebView window. To clarify, these are not opening in the apps internal browsers (Like what is available in Twitter or Facebook). I have cleared all the default handlers, changed default browsers, tried from multiple apps, but this continues. I even did a chat with Google support and they claim this is supposed to happen. I have a video below of what I'm talking about. In the video I am clicking a link and instead of Chrome coming up, a window appears on top of Twitter and the link is rendered there.
Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this?

Do you have any 3rd party browsers installed or any "multi-window" apps installed?

I do not. Chrome is the only installed browser. Every app I have was also on my S7 before I switched and it did not have anything like this going on, even on the Nougat beta. I have never seen anything like this before.
Gotcha, and what app are you using to show the links to begin with? Sorry if I missed it in the OP.
EDIT: It has to be the originating app?

This happens regardless of the originating app. It happens in Gmail, Inbox, Facebook, Twitter, my Reddit client, everywhere that has links that would normally be handled by the default browser.
This is part of nougat.. kind of.
Previously in android apps could use something called web view. Basically it was a built in generic mini browser that the app developer could customize to their liking and make it look however they wanted.
Now with Nougat they are trying to keep everything looking similar so apps can now use the mini browser thing which is part of Google chrome. Sounds like those apps your using might be using the old web view still

This is not a WebView window like I've ever seen. Nor is it a Chrome Custom Tab. I have never seen anything like what my video shows.
I guess I'm just going to have to do a screen share support call with Google and hope they have a solution, even if it is a factory reset.
Have you tried opening your Google app from the app drawer, going into settings > accounts and privacy, and disabling "open web pages in app"?
Ya, this is a confusing one.

I watched your video. Yes that's different from what I get. Looks kinda cool. Looking forward to hearing what Google tells you.
A factory reset did the job. The only explanation I can think of is that for some reason my phone couldn't set a default browser. Anything that had an open to go from internal to external browsers (such as Twitter or Facebook) showed "Open in" instead of "Open in Chrome" even though my system settings showed Chrome as my default. Also, one of my default browsers listed was the Setup Wizard. I am thinking this is shenanigans from doing a USB transfer setup from an S7 on the Nougat beta.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!

The good news is you got it straight! :good:
Sorry to necro, but I have this problem now and I'm really not trying to factory reset after all the work I've done making this phone mine. Are there any developments on this? The WebView thing doesn't support YouTube which is killing me the most. A Google product that doesn't support YouTube...madness....
If anyone else finds this, disabling the Setup Wizard app resolves the issue. That app just tries to open all links rather than letting the default browser do the job.
I went through this exact situation, and couldn't figure it out. Here is a link to the thread i had started going through the entire process, its about 3 pages. It started with gmail, then got widespread. My end result was a reset also.
